Million-dollar chase for the Defender crown swells costs
An era of yacht history notes that defending the America's Cup has drawn a century of spending. The Defender’s build and trials may near 250000 dollars, with past cups costing 20000 to 85000 pounds for Boston and Yankee crews. The piece traces costs from Puritan and Priscilla to Mayflower and Volunteer, highlighting syndicate figures like Vanderbilt Morgan and Iselin and the shifting tech such as the centerboard.
